• The female knights outside heard the scuffle give way to intimate sounds and reflected on how Shien had become Roxie's fiancé.

• Shien admitted he was nervous about meeting Roxie's mother, and Roxie explained that her mother had agreed to the marriage after asking whether Roxie truly loved him.

• Anima explained that heroes usually entered the Inner Sanctum only after reaching Legendary-tier, but Shien said he had his own reasons for going early.

• Anima led Shien to a vast plaza at the temple’s deepest point, where a lone door marked “Principle” stood.
• Anima explained that the door led to a place near the World Principle, where visitors could gain extraordinary enlightenment, then told Shien to push it open.

• Shien approached the door marked “Reason,” and it opened into an ancient vortex when he touched it.
• Shien entered a dark world where he felt as though he had only a soul and consciousness.

• The vision collapsed, and the vortex spat Shien back onto the plaza before Anima.

• Roxie explained that Lidas guided and protected humanity, and that her ancestor, the Hero Mitra, had been Lidas's disciple.
• Shien escorted Roxie to the royal palace, then returned alone to House Poztut to study Fate Principle.
• Shien found that Fate Principle could reconfigure skills he possessed, but it could not affect Unique or Special Skills, create skills, or exceed a skill's potential.
• Shien learned that reconfiguring skills consumed Skill Points, though Heaven's Grace had left him with several thousand to spend.

Shien used Fate Principle to refine and fuse skills, then asked Roxie, Aiyi, and Anima to find masters who could teach him every kind of skill. As experts from the Human, Demon, and God Races gathered at House Poztut, they soon fled or celebrated Shien’s astonishing ability to learn their skills.

• Shien declared that he needed to find someone to spar with, and his magic aura startled people throughout the royal capital.
